thin sheet of clear plastic on the face of the con-
sole, remove it.
F. Pace indicators—When the manual mode is select-
ed, only the left pace indicator will appear. This
pace indicator represents your exercise pace. As
you increase or decrease your pace, additional bars
will appear or disappear on the pace indicator.
When a Smart program, a Heart Rate program, or
the iFIT.com mode is selected, both pace indica-
tors will appear. The left pace indicator represents
your exercise pace, and the right pace indicator
represents a target pace. During the program, the
target pace will periodically change. As the right
pace indicator changes, simply adjust your pace so
that the same number of bars appear on both pace
indicators. Important: The target pace is a goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
A. Exercise feedback display—This display features
seven modes that give you instant exercise feed-
back: your current speed, the elapsed time (or the
time remaining in a Smart program or a Heart Rate
program), the distance that you have pedaled, the
resistance level, the approximate number of calo-
ries you have burned, the approximate number of
fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING
on page 21), and your heart rate (when you use
the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest
pulse sensor). If the scan mode is selected, the
display will change from one mode to the next
every six seconds. Or, you can select a single mode
for continuous display.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
4
When using a Heart Rate program, you must use
the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on
page 12) or the optional chest pulse sensor (refer
to page 20). If you use the handgrip pulse sensor,
it is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu-
ously during the program. However, you should
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not
holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear
in the display instead of your heart rate.
Each Heart Rate program helps you to keep your
heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum
heart rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum
heart rate is 195.) Heart Rate program 5 is designed
to keep your heart rate between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate while you exercise; Heart Rate
program 6 is designed to keep your heart rate
between 65% and 80% of your maximum heart rate.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
Start the program.
5
Turn on the console.
To start the program, simply begin exercising.
Each Heart Rate program consists of twenty, one-
minute periods. One resistance setting and one
heart rate setting are programmed for each peri-
od. (The same resistance setting and/or heart
rate setting may be programmed for consecutive
periods.)
1
Refer to step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the two Heart Rate programs.
2
Each time the
console is
turned on, the
manual mode
will be selected.
To select a
Heart Rate pro-
gram, press the
Program button repeatedly until the number 5 or 6
appears in the upper right corner of the display.
During the program, the resistance of the elliptical
crosstrainer will automatically change as shown
by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur-
rent resistance level is too high or too low, you
can adjust the resistance level by pressing the +
and – buttons. However, when the current period
of the program is completed, the resistance level
will automatically change if a different resistance
setting is programmed for the next period.
The profiles numbered 5 and 6 on the right side
of the console show the resistance settings for
the Heart Rate programs. For example, profile
number 5 shows that when Heart Rate program 5
is selected, the resistance level will gradually
increase during the program and then decrease
near the end.
As you exercise,
the pace indica-
tors will help you
to keep your
heart rate near
the heart rate
setting for the
current period.
Enter your age.
3
The left pace indicator will show your actual exer-
cise pace. The right pace indicator will show a
target pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse
sensor (or wear the optional chest pulse sensor),
the console will compare your heart rate to the
heart rate setting for the current period. If neces-
sary, the right pace indicator will then change to
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace to
bring your heart rate closer to the current heart
When a Heart Rate program is selected, the word
AGE will appear in the display. You must enter
your age to use a Heart Rate program. To enter
your age, first press the + or – button. The current
age setting will then be shown. Next, press the +
or – button repeatedly to enter your age. Once
you have entered your age, your age will be
saved in memory until the batteries are replaced.

changes, increase or decrease your pace so that
the same number of bars appear on both pace
indicators. If your pace is slower than the current
pace setting, the increase arrow will appear in the
display; if your pace is faster than the pace set-
ting, the decrease arrow will appear. Important:
The pace settings for the program are intend-
ed only to provide a goal. Your actual pace
may be slower than the pace settings, espe-
cially during the first few months of your
exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.

THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The optional chest pulse sensor provides hands-free
operation and continuously monitors your heart rate
during your workouts. To purchase the optional
chest pulse sensor, call toll-free 1-800-734-2377.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip
pulse sensor. Excessive movement may interfere
with heart rate readings.
To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, use a damp cloth
and a small amount of mild dish soap. Important: To
avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of
direct sunlight.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the
metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. Refer to assembly step 5 on
page 7 for replacement instructions. The console
requires four “D” batteries.
• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts
can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for persons over the age of 35
or persons with pre-existing health problems.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
For maximum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is near the middle num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exer-
cise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone as you exercise.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise
program, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
on the bottom line of the chart (ages are rounded off
to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week
if desired. The key to success is to make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
